I found this book to be highly informative and well researched, with clear examples of the impact of AI on medicine, particularly focused on Chat GBT. The authors are all top notch--one is the leading research on AI in healthcare from Microsoft, one is a leading bioinformatics expert and physician from Harvard Medical School and the other is one of the best science and healthcare journalists in the country.
Very refreshing to see a book that keeps the hype factor to a minimum and delivers the goods on actually explaining why this all matters to patients, physicians, and those running healthcare provider organizations.
The book provides an unvarnished and pragmatic view of the high impact of AI bots and models on medicine and healthcare, with a particular focus on what this will mean for patients, doctors and the healthcare provider community. The view of AI from the patient's point of view is refreshing, since much of what is written about healthcare technology is usually so much mumbo jumbo about standards, protocols and other IT systems plumbing issues.
This book will be very useful to doctors who will need to understand how to use AI as a valued partner and to patients who will need to understand how to use AI to manage their own health and medical literacy. The authors are very clear about the limitations of the existing AI systems and encourage everyone to "trust but verify" which is very good advice.
I found the detailed chats in the book to be focused enough to follow and clearly illustrate the main points. Carey Goldberg, the journalist who worked on the book, does a very good job of cutting through the jargon and presenting the information from experts Peter Lee and Zak Kohane in a very clear, easy-to-read and understand fashion.
Wish there was a book like this for many other aspects of AI chatbots for use for writing, research, everyday life, etc.
Well worth the investment of time and attention to understand how AI will impact medicine and healthcare, which is important for patients, physicians, and policy makers alike.
Hope this will be an ongoing series of books as generative AI and the use of artificial intelligences evolved and become increasingly important in our daily lives.
